    Do these receive the same prizes as the SND, or are these just for fun?
  • Are there any plans to stream the event live from Indianapolis?

    I remember the FG Lan streams back in 2012 haha. The war rooms, interviews, match broadcasts, etc. =p

    Yeah the streams made it seem more important/relevant.

    They will all have their own separate prize pool.

    So if 4 teams sign up for Ghost Mode, then the registration fees from those 4 teams will go into the GM prizes.

    For the 1v1 and Sniper matches, these will be either a free fun to do event to keep people busy or have players pay a small fee like $3 each to participate.

    Oh yes. There is a very nice broadcasting setup with cameras, tv monitors, sound boards, stream control center, and more to help bring all of the action live to those watching from home.

    We will have war rooms to listen in on the teams, live on camera interviews with players as they sit next to the casters at the broadcast station.

    Some of the casters would include Gecks and Tilt, so you know we will have a professional stream.

    This has been going back and forth as I have gotten different answers from the same people. One week a team says they will go, then the next week they say maybe. This is why I wanted to have the pay up front registration to have a more accurate way to know how many teams and players are going.

    So instead of having 12 teams saying they go with the old registration setup but 4 of them with a no show, it kind of messes with our game plan for the event.

    With the new registration setup, you can see first hand how many have bought tickets.

  • I don't understand this community. Literally everyone *****es about this game because it never has lans, how we need lans to stop cheating and ghosting and the 1000 other problems everyone complains about.

    Finally someone spends their own money to get a lan for crossfire. Everyone *****es about the prize pool, so he raises registration prices, everyone *****es about the price to enter. Then people harass purvis with things like "LOL zero teams signed up" and "We won't register until other teams do". You all complain about how no teams are signing up, so why not sign your team up already instead of *****ing about teams NOT signing up?

    The next issue is, why is everyone harassing Purvis for trying to put on this event? Isn't this what the community wants? Consistent lans? No? Why is literally everyone just being 100% negative about this instead of actually trying to help make this lan successful?

    End rant. This community is less intelligent then Forrest Gump's down syndrome half brother.

    As much time and money you spend on drinking you can spend your money on some decent clothes, cologne, hair cut, and a gym membership so you could possibly have a chance at getting laid.

    The lengths you will go to prove your point, adding in sardonic examples and veiled "mistakes", is quite simply amazing.

    Well to be fair, Indy is a silly location. And I'm sure there are many other silly things that Purvis has decided to do. Yes, people want a LAN, but they want a LAN that's actually worth going to. Unless you live in Indiana, this LAN is no where near worth it. I'm pretty sure winning the LAN wouldn't cover travel costs for most people to attend.

    I agree with the idea of your post, but not for this particular event. I understand that Purvis is doing this out of his pocket, and kudos to him for that, but its not worth doing if you don't do it right. The main problem with this LAN is that Purvis hasn't realized it is a waste of time yet..
